I use the V35/colour with ilford MGIV paper and have realized, that I have to exposure longer than expected when moving from small testprints to larger scales. I don't have my list at hand but I remember that it is sometimes more than 50% on top of the calculated time. All the times i use are not in the range where Ilford gives extended values due to Schwarzschildt correction. christoph
